I A further object of the-invention is en improved-device for confiningthe'light sys to the size of the cut,-out'or mask, and a. fur therobject of the invention is an improved :5 ground-glass frame so arrangedthat the op- ,ciation of-inserting and removing the plateholders orground glass-will not jar the camera or otherwise aflfect the positionof the same.
